Rating 3.83 out of 5 2,177 reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Georgia Tech. The campus is beautiful, there are plenty of community engagements, and the environment is friendly. Of course, let this not distract from the fact that Georgia Tech is a school that requires a lot of discipline. The library will be your deep friend as you get assignments complete. All in all, however, this school is far from impossible; there were some days I had enough time to play basketball for four hours after class! If you manage your time, stay focused, and find a community, you'll have an absolute blast at Georgia Tech.
I really like the culture here: we emphasize both working hard and playing hard. Now, even for an introvert like myself, this is a great place to meet people, but also to hunker down and work. I really feel like my work matters here. Every assignment serves a purpose. I will say for a tech school, our digital infrastructure is laughable. Sure, our research is protected and secure, but not a day goes by that something does not crash. Not a huge problem, but very frustrating. BUT! Being a liberal arts major at Georgia Tech awards you countless advantages. Programs are small and deliberate, with so many hands-on, technical aspects to each class. Definitely the place to be for the modern liberal arts student!
So far, my experience at Georgia Tech has been a good challenge and very time-consuming. The resources are excellent, and clubs are student-led and very hands-on. There are opportunities for everyone no matter ethnicity, identification, religion, sexuality, gender, etc. The only thing I would like to see change is how sexual assault allegations are handled. Georgia Tech students have reverted to using Instagram to try and bring perpetrators to light and spread the truth about certain fraternities and students who have not faced the consequences of their actions. Georgia tech is not publicly addressing what is going on; they tell people to "go through proper channels and use other resources." sometimes, their image is more important than their students. However, if you're looking to pursue a STEM degree and higher education, I recommend attending the Georgia Institue of Technology!
